\\\"But there\\\'s no reason you couldn\\\'t write an adult story about someone fighting evil robot versions of him/herself\\\"
It\\\'s hypothetically possible, but I certainly can\\\'t think of any examples. Was Greg Weisman making a statement about contemporary society or the human condition when he created the Steel Clan? Or did he just put them into the series becuase he knew that the kiddies like watching robots fighting?
I think it\\\'s a legitimate point that people who complain about the animation age ghetto online are often just using it as an excuse as to why their fandoms aren\\\'t wider, something which is muddying discussions of the subject. You can\\\'t really expect the general public to show any interest in stuff like \\\'\\\'Gargoyles\\\'\\\' when it isn\\\'t \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' well-liked even within animation circles.
Here\\\'s a quote from Stephen Fry which seems relevant:
\\\"The only drama the BBC will boast about are Merlin and Doctor Who, which are fine, but they\\\'re children\\\'s programmes. They\\\'re not for adults. And they\\\'re very good children\\\'s programmes, don\\\'t get me wrong, they\\\'re wonderfully written … but they are not for adults.
They are like a chicken nugget. Every now and again we all like it.
Every now and again. But if you are an adult you want something surprising, savoury, sharp, unusual, cosmopolitan, alien, challenging, complex, ambiguous, possibly even slightly disturbing and wrong. You want to try those things, because that\\\'s what being adult means.\\\"
So yes, if we want our complaints about this ghetto to be taken seriously, then it\\\'s time we put the chicken nuggets back in the fridge :)
